This study describes how a secondary analysis of data was performed on data that was previously collected as part of an evaluation program related to generic upper division baccalaureate nursing students. The evaluation measured changes in the students' critical thinking dispositions and skills from the time of entry into a nursing program to the time of exit from the program. Data obtained from the California Critical Thinking Dispositions Inventory (CCTDI), the Watson-Glaser Critical Thinking Appraisal (WGCTA), and a demographic data sheet were used.
